Mr. Surasak Saokaew (Instructor, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Phayao, Thailand) stayed in the CIGS as an International Research Fellow for about 3 months. Under the supervision of Dr. Kamae, our Research Director, and jointly with Mr. Takashi Sugimoto, the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Tokyo, he conducted the comparative study of the databases that are potentially usable for the implementation of Health Technology Assessment in Thailand and Japan.
He presented the study result in the workshop at the CIGS together with Mr. Sugimoto.

CIGS Workshop is a presentation of the progress for the study which CIGS researchers are doing. They take comments from other researchers, advisors, and outside commentators, and they make use of them for their future study.
